Poured from tap at brewery opaque black with thin tan head. Aroma has lots of alcohol vapor with some soft grain, chocolate and soy sauce. Flavor is a bit of a mess with hot alcohol tones and a jumble of coffee, chocolate, soy sauce, and grain. Palate is slightly astringent with a alcohol warmth, mildly sweet turning to a light bitter in the end. Overall was ok but young with the flavors not messing very well and the alcohol taking over.

Aug 15, 2009 Growler. Pours black and almost opaque with a vague orange hue. sweetish aroma of hard roasted malts and alcohol with an edge of peaty smoke. Quite full-bodied, hard roasted malts, a little tar and dried fruit. Some malt bitterness and an extreme alcohol burn. 110709

Jul 14, 2009 Pours deep viscous black with no head. Huge nose of chocolate, dark berries and alcohol. Same in the flavor but smoother on the alcohol. As creamy on the palate as any beer I’ve had. Thanks Rodger!
